Meredith Anderson

Meredith — you know her as my little sister, now my maid of honor, but most importantly, she is my best friend. She graduates this year from Saint Andrews Episcopal School and is onto her next big thing: changing the world! If she’s not reading the latest National Geographic, snuggling our dog Rex (probably those two things concurrently), or reminding someone to say “may I” instead of “can I”, you will find her— oh, wait. You won’t find her, because we snuck off to get boba tea and won’t be back until we are finished spilling our guts to one another. Well, see you on April 18th!

Emma Turkki

I am so thrilled to welcome a new sister into my life on 4/18/20 – Emma Turkki! She is a second year student at the University of Florida, studying psychology to one day help kids who struggle with trauma and mental illness. When she isn’t inspiring me with her strength and compassion, she is making jaws drop at her aesthetic! From her home, to her closet, to her artwork, Emma has an eye for beauty and detail like no other person I know. If anything at this wedding looks remotely cool, you know who to thank!

Sydney Hoover

The women of my family are notorious for our spirit and spunk, and you need look no further than my cousin Sydney. Currently a student at Boca Raton Community High School, she is known for tearing it up on the soccer field and creating beautiful artwork that I want to adorn the walls of our new apartment with! From toddler to teenager, I’m amazed by the woman she’s become and am so honored to stand by her on my big day.

Savannah Burgin

My sister from another mister— Savannah Burgin everyone! Although she is now a first year student at Oklahoma State University (go Pokes!), I used to babysit Savy and her brother when they were little. We have quite the history of shenanigans together: from cruise ship pranks to “who ate all the guacamole?”, we are guaranteed to be up to no good. Look out for that wedding cake.

Katie Fischer

Almost eight years ago, Katie Fischer became the very first friend that I made at our high school. Flash forward, and we have witnessed each other graduate, get into college, work our first jobs, and navigate this thing called “adulthood”. While Katie isn’t studying hospitality at Florida Atlantic University, you will find her ballroom dancing, painting, or going out for half-price cookie skillets with me on Tuesdays. I’m unbelievably grateful for 8 years of laughter, football games, dessert, heart-to-hearts, and art together.

Anna Potts

Anna Potts, also known as: AP, Anna Banana, Taterpotts, Pottsticker, Anna Potts Potts Potts. The name is legendary, but the person more so. Since we met at the University of Florida in 2015, Anna and I have grown a lot together: from 11-weeks of summer camp, 1 year in a 12x12 dorm room, 7 months abroad on different continents... we have endured it all! A faithful friend and ambitious woman of God, Anna has just graduated with her Master’s of International Business.

Christine Pangborn

She was the very first to hear about this boy named “Aleksi” in the secrecy of the locker room after gym class. Christine Pangborn is a fourth year business student at Wake Forest University. When she isn’t studying diligently, you can find her rocking Lilly Pulitzer, crafting something Pinterest-worthy, or baking a delicious dessert! I am so excited that Christine is also moving to Charlotte when she graduates (and I’m praying to be neighbors)!

Natalie Miller

I have the honor of standing alongside the one and only Mrs. Natalie Miller. Not only is my lady married, but she is pursuing her Master’s at Palm Beach Atlantic University. #goals 

Natalie has been there for me through every twist and turn of life since we were 15, and she never failed to encourage me in the direction of God and his more perfect plan for my life. Cheers to learning more about marriage over wine and cheese!
